Mass is the amount of 'stuff' that a thing has, so assuming that when you melt a solid part of it isn't vaporised, then the amount of stuff remains the same, even if it's changed it's form.
Mass is measured by weighing a thing within a gravitational field (with no other forces acting on it), not volume or shape.

Does solid gold weigh more or less than melted gold?
Changing the temperature of something does not change its weight.
How can matter be a solid if you can bend it?
It can be melted into a liquid and frozen into a solid.
Does the volume and mass ever change?
It depends on what the question is about? For instance, an ingot of lead is heavy and, unless melted into a liquid state, is unlikely to change in volume or mass. More specific information is needed.
What happens to the heat energy which is supplied to the solid once it has started melting?
During the phase change of a solid to a liquid (melting), all of the energy goes into breaking the intermolecular bonds holding the molecules of the solid together, and none of the energy goes into changing the temperature. Thus, during this particular phase of melting, the temperature of the system does NOT change.
The heat of fusion is defined as the energy required at constant temperature to change 1 unit mass of a?
The heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change 1 unit mass of a solid to a liquid at constant temperature.
How much solid wax makes one ounce of melted wax?
One ounce. No mass is lost in the phase change from solid to liquid wax.
What should the mass of the liquid butter be once it is melted?
Yes because the butter can be drunk. Melted butter is a liquid simply because it has exceeded its melting point. It become solid again when it cools to the temperature below its melting point.
Another way of saying melted in a science way?
change of state from solid to liquid?
Does melted ice represent a chemical change?
no its a physical change because its changing from a solid to a liquid and its still water!
Can melted butter or fat change back to a solid butter or fat?
Animal fats such as lard from pork or dripping from beef can be melted and will become a solid again when they go cold, however dairy fats such as butter will still return to a solid, but never to it's original 'creamy' solid state once it has been melted.
Observe and thinkof ways on how you can change these solid?
Generally a solid become a liquid by melting or a gas by sublimation; but not all the solids can be melted.
When solid gold is melted does it undergo a chemical change?
No, unless it reacted with a gas in the air around it. Melting is a physical change.
Solid matter does not change what?
mass doesn't change
Can melted butter turn back to a solid?
Yes it can ; anything which has been melted can be solidified by cooling it down and will change back to its normal state.
Would the mass of a metal change after being melted?
No it would not change because it will always have the same amount of it with the weight and everything
What happens to the overall mass of a substance when it changes state?
the mass does not change because in science class today we learned when you measure an ice cube (mass) it is the same mass of ice melted!
Is the mantle melted?
No it is solid.
